Fall is here!

Can you believe it?
I lovelovelove with my whole heart when the trees start to change. I feel like I need to be outside every possible moment soaking in the orange and red and rust and brown and yellow before it all fades.

It took me two days to write this post

mostly because the blog headings are all in Hebrew and thus it took a great deal of trial and error to make it to the dashboard. I guess the website knows from my IP address that I am in Israel and so it behaves appropriately?!?!?!?
I am sitting in Shuk Mahane Yehuda and I am overwhelmed by the sites and sounds. I am resisting the urge to be touristy and take pictures of everything and everyone. I am also trying not to berate myself for not sketching as I sit here.
What a beautiful, chaotic, amazing place.
Here is some eye candy...not from the shuk...but from the place where we are staying.

Images from my summer

It has been so long since I blogged. I was feeling the Jewish guilt about it as I started this post. But I have decided that guilt is an unnecessary emotion in my life, and is taking up emotional space that could be better devoted to other emotions. I will spare you a list ;)

I realized that one of the reasons for the gaps is because I get so sidetracked by the MORE that I want to be involved in. Someone gave me that word one time...about the MORE that was in me. In my mind, that means neatly separated into boxes with labels, to be taken out and enjoyed one at a time.  Art, cooking, music, creativity. 

BUT I have realized that it is really supposed to be drippy and running together like the painting at the end of A Thomas Crown Affair. Smeared and messy and deliciously mixed up and dripping all over my life. Do you know the clip I refer to?

For your viewing pleasure:
The best 6:39 of movie viewing ever.

 

Anyway...here is to the exploration of that realization....

Happy Thursday.
